any experiences with these? i'm considering the Racing Hart C-5s or the Alles Mesh. both are 3 piece rims.
i've never bought wheels before and i like the look of these. are they any good?

 

I have the Racing Hart D6000 and I love them. They have been through pot holes, high speeds, sharp turns, you name it. I have never had a problem. I liked the c-5 as well but when I was shopping for them there was a shortage and that means that alot of other people wanted them too, and I wanted something a little different. So I went with the D6000, it was new then.

 

what's the proper offset for our maximas?
i think someone told me our bolt pattern is 5x114.3
is that right?

 

 

40 mm for the stock 16's.
45 mm for the stock 17's.

Kevin, let's FAQ this!

 

hubcentric? what the heck is hubcentric?

 

Doesn't it come back to +40 for 18"?? That's what I have been seeing on tire rack and those sights.

 

I heard it is safe to put a 35mm offset also.Discount tires and tire rack agree and so does maxima.org. So im guessing anything from a 35mm offset to a 45mm offset will work. This is info I got from various sources. 35mm offset will give you more of a deep dish look to your ride.

 

I've never seen them before... Do you have any pics of them???

 

Look in your Nissan Owner's Manual. For 2000 it's under page 10-9.

Steel 15 x 6JJ 1.57 (40)
Alloy 16 x 6.5JJ 1.57 (40)
Alloy 17 x 7JJ (option) 1.75 (45)

Really nice.

 

the c5's r discontinued ...

 

aaah, suck. i was leaning toward those.
i've seen other rims that look similar. any suggestions on good quality makes?

 

That is too bad. I was about to comment on how much more I liked the 5s and to make sure you take into account the depth of the lip because a deeper lip will make the wheels look smaller. Oh well...

This sounds like a stupid question but can someone briefly explain how a 3-piece wheel works?

 

good question. only thing i know is that it's supposed to be better.
may be literal... 3 pieces bolted together? dunno
